Former President Trump has been called to sit for a deposition in September as part of his lawsuit seeking $500 million from his former attorney Michael Cohen.
In a filing Monday, Cohen's attorneys scheduled the deposition for Sept. 6 at a law office in Miami.
“I look forward to Donald’s deposition under oath and proving the frivolous nature of the lawsuit,” Cohen told NBC News in a statement. The deposition notice comes after Trump sued Cohen in April, alleging that his former lawyer turned critic spread falsehoods, violated attorney-client privilege and unjustly enriched himself.
In the complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for Southern Florida, Trump’s lawyer Alejandro Brito had argued that his client has “suffered vast reputational harm as a direct result of Defendant’s breaches," and suggested that Cohen took part in other misconduct that violated New York's Rules of Professional Conduct.
When reached for comment on Monday, Cohen's attorney, Ben Brodsky, said the deposition notice"functions like a subpoena."NBC News has reached out to a Trump attorney for comment on the deposition.
